We saw you today at Theo, right by the Area 36 Trail entrance. Wanted to say hi but you were filming what seems to be an upcoming video so we didn't want to interrupt. It's fate, I didn't choose the Shad Life, the Shade Life Chose Me.
It looks like Ragley has some 2021 models still in stock and a person could pick up a Marley 2.0 for less than a thousand bucks right now. Idk seems like a good deal for the price. Point being with the market being what it is there are probably better values out there than this bike right now, unless someone just really likes the frame on this or something. Looking forward to the riding review.
I feel like doing a review on a 2021 model wouldn't be very effective since we are soon going into 2024 models. I want to review stuff that is relevant to today.
Frame on the way. Can you see if the big "Poseidon" decals on the downtube are under clear coat or on top and easily removed? (the color of them is not my thing)
Yeah, I saw they don't offer it with an axle. I have no idea what size is needed and I also don't get why they don't provide an axle with it. Very strange!
I like the Suntour axle a lot. Push and twist the end to lock it into its retracted mode.
I'm pretty sure Eric from Spindat worked with Poseidon to design this bike so it would be a cheap intro to MTBing but could be upgraded.

You can always come say hi. It just means you might get into the video...then the Shad Life really will have chosen you...🤣

@@ShadLife oh I totally agree with that.

I don't recall. I think they are under the clearcoat. This frame was part of my 3000 subs give-a-way so I no longer have it.
What's the wheel id in mm? Atleast 25mm?
I never measured the inner width of the rim on these unbranded stock wheels. My guess is that they were around 25mm...🤷♂️
@@ShadLife just curious as I like to run 2.6 IRC Tankens which run wider than a lot of other 2.6 brands
Don't want tire squirm
@@MichaelRobibaro I would run 30mm internal width for that size tire.
@@ShadLife yeah, that's what I normally run
Only have a spare 29er front in 30id.
Maybe I'll do a mullet
Anyone know the rear axle size? I ordered just the frame and doesnt come with an axle
